Bed bugs on the rise
What type of pest are you afraid of? When you travel overseas, you may be bringing back more than just a few tacky souvenirs. You may be harbouring bugs that end up infesting your home.Local pest control firm Pest Busters said it treated close to 250 cases of bed bug infestations in 2009. That's double the number of incidents in 2007. They attribute this to the increase in the number of people travelling.Pest Busters' assistant supervisor, Mohamed Amir Bin Yahya said, 'Nowadays, because of cheaper travel bed bugs are easily transported in. We've even had cases in 5 star hotels and big mansions.'So travellers should take extra care to check that their luggage and personal belongings are free of such unwelcome guests before they enter their homes.
Even if you keep your home spick and span, bed bugs may still nest as these pests can be brought in from other external sources such as from a trip on the bus or the cinema.All in all, I think we have to do our part in keeping our house spick and span and also to wash ourselves thoroughly after coming back from the cinema or from a holiday. We would not like to see pests crawling under our beds. Cockroaches are scary as they look disgusting and gives us the goosebumps. As we all know 'The Black Death' which was caused by the fleas in the rats' bodies, peaking in Europe between 1348 and 1350. Lizards are scary as they look slimy and we have to use a lot of bug spray then we can kill it.If you want to know what is the most hated pest in Singapore, watch this video at http://www.razor.tv/site/servlet/segment/main/news/42898.html and vote for your most hated creature, or watch the Pest Busters at http://www.razor.tv/site/servlet/segment/main/search/?searchQuery=Pests+Busters&fromPageForCloud=searchPage&hiddenvalue=initial
